Difference in size of the inlet manifold

Postby ther » Mon Jan 11, 2010 2:04 am

Is there any difference in size of the inlet manifold for an mk5 ?
from an 85ps/ 100ps/ 115ps?
If there is a difference what would be best to put on a 70ps turbo conversion.

There are a few types - but later on the 85PS and 100PS used the same inlet manifold (Im guessing the 115PS one did too??). Just fit whichever one you can find. If you plan to put an intercooler on one with the inlet at the front of the engine would probably be easiest

I tought i had seen different sizes/shapes. As i understand from your asnwer there isn't any power gain or advantage with a certain type of manifold.
